Her older sister, the queen, died in result of a meticulous trap and she herself was drowned alongside the rest of my family.
Patrizia, at the last moments of her life, fell into despair. 'If only I had been the Queen.' She had the confidence to not love the emperor. Then none of this would've happened. Everyone would've been alive, everyone would've been happy.

At this point she makes a huge decision to change the future of her family and herself.
"I shall become the Queen instead!"

Will this bring the happiness she sought for?

As Lucio recovered from the state he had been in, Patrizia spurred on with her work. When he had been unconscious, she had only been in charge of a portion of the work anyways, but she wanted to pass on the work in the most suitable way.

"Welcome, Duke. It has been quite a while."
